The worlds highest resolution camera is currently in development to be used as a video surveillance system. This technology, ARGUS array, developed by DARPA, features an unbelievable 1.8 Gigapixels. This is accomplished by combining hundreds of imaging sensors in an array and capturing the streaming video in real time. The video is stored and transmitted at the same time so it can be searched and analyzed later. We are not given all the details since much of this is classified, however, the video shows off some of the capabilities such as seeing objects as small as 6 inches from 17,000 feet (5180 Meter).
